An Ohio physician allegedly killed in a murder plot involving her own 18-year-old daughter had, years before her death, helped author an academic study on the psychology and patterns of young killers.<\/p>\n

Tamela Dutcher, 55, died at a hospital shortly after she was shot by two men while sitting on a couch inside her Delaware County home last week, according to an affidavit obtained by Oxygen<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Her daughter, Bryanna Dutcher, has been indicted in connection with the killing, along with Bryanna\u2019s boyfriend, Christian Evans, 20, and Evans\u2019 roommate, Dajameous Payne, 21.<\/p>\n

Investigators say Bryanna\u2019s arrest came after a forensic review of her phone uncovered a disturbing series of messages with Evans. In the exchange, the couple allegedly discussed the final moments leading up to the fatal ambush, according to records obtained by WCMH News<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The case carries a grim irony: Tamela, a doctor in central Ohio, co-wrote a 2002 paper in the International Journal of Adolescent Medicine and Health that examined violence committed by children and teenagers.<\/p>\n

Published 24 years before her daughter would face charges in her death, the paper warned that \u201cchildren and youth are being killed or are killing at an ever-increasing pace.\u201d<\/p>\n

The study also observed that although most juvenile offenders are boys, \u201cthose few girls who kill tend to kill family members\u201d \u2014 a line that now casts a haunting shadow over the Delaware County murder case.<\/p>\n

The violence unfolded on August 14, when a man called 911 in panic to report that his wife had been shot in the face. During the call, he could be heard asking, \u201cWhat the hell did you do?\u201d according to WCMH.<\/p>\n

Bryanna\u00a0and the two men \u2013 identified as her boyfriend Christian Evans, 20 (pictured), and his roommate Dajameous Payne, 21 \u2013 were all indicted in connection with Tamela\u2019s murder<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Around 10 seconds later, he could be heard yelling: \u2018Oh! What the hell?\u2019 after allegedly reporting a second gunshot and seeing someone flee through the front door.<\/p>\n

Police responded to the family\u2019s Bean-Oller Drive home and transported Tamela to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead after being shot in the back of the neck, according to the court affidavit.<\/p>\n

An initial investigation uncovered a second bullet lodged in the home\u2019s wall \u2013 the exact spot where Tamela\u2019s husband had been standing before dropping down to try to save her life.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It remains unclear which man fired the fatal shot, but court documents alleged that one of the men also took aim at her husband and missed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tamela\u2019s husband told deputies there were about 100 guns inside the home, including a .380-caliber pistol that matched the shell casings recovered at the scene.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When police interviewed Bryanna at the hospital, she immediately denied any knowledge of the attack, despite having been home when it unfolded.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Although she said she did not know whether the back door was locked, the teen told police she would have seen anyone entering through it and insisted that she never saw a shooter inside the home.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She also claimed she could not think of anyone angry enough to shoot her parents, according to the affidavit obtained by Oxygen, but told investigators that a friend of her mother\u2019s had owed her money.<\/p>\n
